My band is Me and my Taylor Classical Guitar. I am a singer/songwriter. I do, however have a couple friends that I like to play music with and they are as follows:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Randy Tredway - (guitar, vocals), Helen Kennedy - (vocals), Paul Johnson - (killer lead guitar, vocals), Vicki Williams - (Rockn guitar, vocals), and last but not least, Spiderman Minshew - (hopping harmonica, percussion, bass, vocals and anything else his spirit tells him he is inspired to play by his birth rights. I know.. don't really understand either but he is awesome and that is okay by me. Then of course there is Mudcat on Harmonica, Bluesy guitar and vocals and Micah Federoff on Hand drums and percussion. I also have found myself sitting in with the "Lost Johnson Band". Paul Johnson- guitar and vocals, Bill Smith - Bass and Whit Hyde on the rockn' drums. I love these guys.

Wanda Mullens was born into a large southern family in Eastern Virginia. Being the middle child, in that family of seven, she learned early that attention was hard to come by. At the age of eleven, Wanda was given her first guitar. She began exploring the chords and vocals of all her favorite singers, demanding her parent’s attention. Beginning with a book of poetry and later a book of original songs she knew Music was always going to be the center of her universe. She began singing & performing gospel songs every Sunday at Liberty Baptist Church in Hopewell, Virginia.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wanda is a proud mother of three strong boys. She raised them on a farm in West Virginia, where the sound of Appalachian music is alive. There is where she began to deeply explore songwriter and perfecting her art. Suddenly music had all her attention. Taking a promotion with her “day job” in October 2006, she found herself in Burleson, Texas. Finally, realizing this is where she is suppose to be, she joined the Fort Worth Songwriter’s Association and began to proudly sing her songs. Wanda Mullens has met some of the most exciting and invigorating songwriter in the world right here in Texas.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wanda performed for Drury University in Missouri this passed November. If all goes well you may see her performances on a new PBS show that should air, Fall of 2009 right here, in the DFW area, of Texas Songwriters. You can see her perform at Dunn Bros in Addison every second Saturday of the month. Also, Chautaugua in Waxahachie during “songwriters in the park” one Saturday a month. Check out her website for all other dates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Wanda sings her songs you will find yourself engulfed in her music and in her captivating voice. She finesses a song with class. If you get the opportunity to experience her show, I hope you enjoy the performance because I know, she will enjoy delivering it to you.

Wanda: One thing I did not know about my father that he was a marine. What I do know about my father was that they made sure the flag was over his casket, and I was able to pass that to my mother. Best of all, I was able to pass your song to his family and friends. Wanda, I will never forget what you did. And in your honor, I pass this video.
Just trying to spread the news about my song “Angel Kisses” soon to be released on compilation CD and will be sent to radio stations throughout the US and Canada. If I already left this comment please forgive me. Thank you :) I hope you have a great 4th Be safe!!

Separate and Be Holy! ***Package Yourself For Where You Are Going Instead of Where You Have Been**** This world's image, music, fashion, language, and culture is not your identity. (1 Peter 3:3,4) Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
